Review on 🔒 Reliable Performance with HP HEWC7971A LTO Ultrium 1 Tape Cartridge by Kevin Mariappan

I thought my tape drive broke after loading one of these tapes. The spindle is everywhere and I've never heard a tape like it. It's simple: noise = bad technology. I will never buy HP tapes again. I am very satisfied with Sony or other leading brands. Why did I bother to mention labels? Try to buy LTO tape labels and see how expensive they are! HP has its own logo, a few lines, and a bunch of things you don't want or want on your label. I will never understand why they did this. But if labels are important to you, your expensive tape has one of the worst. (And yes. There are brands that won't even give you one, but really.)
